Bullying the Hockey Ball - A Glimpse into the Early History of Female Hockey
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to 1890, presents an intriguing scene of two determined female hockey players engaging in an intense scuffle over the ball. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the early history of women's hockey, a sport that has since evolved into a popular and respected athletic pursuit. The women, dressed in long skirts and high-top boots, exhibit their raw passion and grit as they attempt to gain possession of the ball. The expression on their faces reveals a fierce determination and unyielding spirit, reminiscent of the modern-day hockey players we know today. The contrast between the delicate femininity of their attire and the raw power and intensity of their actions creates an intriguing juxtaposition, highlighting the early challenges women faced in pursuing athletic endeavors. Hockey, a sport that originated in England in the late 1800s, was initially dominated by men. However, women's interest in the game began to grow, leading to the formation of the first women's hockey clubs in the late 1800s and early 1900s. This photograph serves as a testament to the early pioneers of women's hockey, who defied societal norms and paved the way for future generations of female athletes. The image also underscores the importance of perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity. Despite the challenges they faced, these women refused to be deterred from their love of the game, ultimately contributing to the rich history and legacy of hockey as we know it today.
